What's the current pad thickness? I'm about to install EBC Yellowstuff pads and new rotors on my Allroad. I've had Redstuff pads on lots of previous cars and found it was a great compound for low dust and better braking performance over the factory semi-metallic pads. I mostly use Yellowstuff nowadays simply because I like the way they brake (sharp bite, no fade on the street). But they are super dusty.
I did the brakes and rotors myself for $300. Ebc brakes all day.
I went with EBC slotted with EBC red pads and it made a total difference in the bite and consistency of the braking on my 7.5.
I run the dimpled and slotted versions along with EBC yellow pads and they grab WAY better than stock in every comparable way. The initial bite on the pads when cold and hot is significantly better and they resist heat much longer too.
Running EBC Yellow's at the moment.
I went with EBC Reds (ceramic, low dust) as they have a decent reputation. EBC brakes do not include the standard brake kit hardware.
I tried EBC on one SVT Focus and my first Fiesta ST. Yellowstuff on both.
They're marginally better than the OE ST pads, aside from dust production. They do not bite as hard as Hawk 5.0s or Stoptech Sports (which are my go-tos now; $76 for fronts from Tirerack). They do not stand up to actual track day driving (no one I know who does track stuff uses EBC). They're okay for autocross.
I currently have EBC Blues on my BBK and they are pretty quiet and way better than the yellows, for sprinted driving or mountain carving I def recommend the blues over the yellows. Yellows were also obnoxiously annoying. Only downside is they eat through rotors pretty quickly, and the brake dust can be pretty corrosive and damage the finish on your wheels.
I wouldn’t run redstuff pads for autocross. I have, and they didn’t do so well.
My rear ebcs are squealing like a b...thc
